There were thousands of slave owners who were black.
Some blacks were slave breeders. They sold their own children.
I bet this movie doesn’t cover that uncomfortable fact.

That’s not what this thread is about. Besides, what should she end a sentence with? Perhaps you ought to pack it in. English grammar rules are screwed up.

I'm not trying to stir up sympathy. I'm just letting you know, for what it's worth, this person is offering up a glimpse into the fact that race issues are still prevalent with most in the black communities, even though we've made considerable progress.
In fact, I think current policies under this administration have taken us back decades in relations between the races. It's time EVERYONE was treated equally in this country as our founders intended.

Furthermore (from an earlier post today, so data are unverified):
1. 13th Amendment — Abolished Slavery. 100% Republican Support; 23% Democrat Support.
2. 14th Amendment — Gave Citizenship to Freed Slaves. 94% Republican Support; 0% Democrat Support.
3. 15th Amendment — Right to Vote for All. 100% Republican Support; 0% Democrat Support.

Most people don't have a clue how black folk feel It is very clear how black people feel. Many of them are very angry and hate all white people. No mystery.

Did someone ground all airliners, trains, buses, cars, motorcycles and ships? If not, then they are quite free to leave should they not like the opportunities afforded them in the United States of America. PERIOD.

"I'm not trying to stir up sympathy.

I think everyone is pretty aware of the fact that race issues are prevalent with blacks. As I said, they're broken records on the subject. Everything is seen through the prism of race.
I do agree with you that Obama's administration has made things even worse.

I doubt if she has adult friends of any color who would want to go see any movie with her.
She is emotionally about 11 years old.

Black people seem to honestly believe that white people today have to apologize for slavery 150 years ago.

The difference is that the statistical probability of my group harming a black person approaches zero. On the other hand, I have to keep my head on a swivel in a city. What an annoying gasbag she is.

Probably half the whites in this country are descended from people who arrived after the civil war.

In other words she is an educated black racist idiot.

Hope she's no offended, but I don't want to go to the movies with her either.
As a first generation American from Nigeria she clearly has no ancestral connection to slavery in America. Nigeria being a major slave trading nation back in the day, she may well have connections with slave traders.

I have a number of racially and ethnically diverse friends and acquaintances who would love to see it... I doubt it...I really doubt it.
